The Mermaid and the Monkey 

"The Mermaid and the Monkey" is a woodcut by Paul Gauguin, the famous post-impressionist painter. The artwork depicts a stylized nude woman, likely a mermaid, with a monkey holding her by the hair. The use of simplified forms and bold colors are characteristic of Gauguin's style, which drew inspiration from traditional Polynesian art and primitivism. This woodcut showcases Gauguin's fascination with the exotic and his exploration of symbolism and myth.
